Willie Nelson - I am my own grandpa

^EMany many years ago ^BWhen I was twenty three ^B7I was married to a widow ^EWho was pretty as could be

^E7This widow had a grown-up daughter ^F#mHad hair of red ^F#My father fell in love with her ^BAnd soon the two were wed

^EThis made my dad my son-in-law ^BAnd changed my very life ^B7My daughter was my mother ^E'Cause she was my father's wife

^E7To complicate the matters ^F#mEven though it brought me joy ^F#I soon became the father ^BOf a bouncing baby boy

^EMy little baby then became ^BA brother-in-law to dad ^B7And so became my uncle ^EThough it made me very sad

^E7For if he was my uncle ^F#mThat also made him the brother ^F#Of the widow's grown-up daughter ^BWho, of course, was my step-mother

^EI'm my own grandpa ^F#mI'm my own grand^Bpa ^EIt sounds funny I know ^ABut it really is so ^EI'm my ^Bown gr^Aandp^Ea

^EMy father's wife then had a son ^BThat kept them on the run ^B7And he became my grandchild ^EFor he was my daughter's son ^E7My wife is now my mother's mother ^F#mAnd it makes me blue ^F#Because although she is my wife ^BShe's my grandmother too

^EI'm my own grandpa ^F#mI'm my own grand^Bpa ^EIt sounds funny I know ^ABut it really is so ^EI'm my ^Bown gr^Aandp^Ea

^ENow, if my wife is my grandmother ^BThen, I am her grandchild ^B7And every time I think of it ^EIt nearly drives me wild ^E7For now I have become ^F#mThe strangest case you ever saw ^F#7As the husband of my grandmother ^BI am my own grandpa

^EI'm my own grandpa ^F#mI'm my own grand^Bpa ^EIt sounds funny I know ^ABut it really is so ^EI'm my ^Bown grandp^Aa
